AND now Mr.. Flickinger,

AND now Mr.. Flickinger, the
Republican candidate for member
of Board of Public Works, and q
member of the present Board, is
accused of an unlawful use of the
Canal tolls, as the following from
the Columbus Times shows.
Hon. G. A. Flickinger, member of
the Board of Public Works, and
candidate for reelection on the Re.
publican ticket, has been caught in
some very peculiar methods oil
encouraging the industry of the
manufacture of canal boats in the
northwest. In the reports of the
collector in the Defiance and Toledo
district for July and August, to the
Auditor of State, there were noticed
several discrepancies and deficien-
cies. A letter to him brought the
information that some of the tolls
had been turned over to canal
boat builder under the order of Mr..
Flickinger as sort of a bounty to
encourage the enterprise. A letter
to Mr.. Flickinger in regard to the
matter brought the reply that he
would have the chief engineer call
at the Auditors office and explain
the matter. But the chief engineer
did not call, and when Mr.. Kiese-
wetter called on him, that official
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that an unlawful act had been done
in turning over the tolls to the
canal boat builders and that there
was nothing to explain about it.
While Mr.. Kiesewetter was in
Gettysburg, Mr.. Flickinger took
occasion to come to his office and
say to Mr.. A. P. Bancroft, Canal
and Trust Fund clerk, that he
might say to Mr.. Kiesewetter not
to be worried about the matter, as
he would see that he lost nothing
by the operation.
Since then there has beena meet
ing Of the Board and nothing at all
done with the matter.
Mr.. Kiesewetter, In order to save
himself from loss, will be obliged to
bring action against the collect or
to make him return the full amount
of tolls collected, as his report
shows. OF course the collector Is
liable under the law, for, although
Mr.. Flickinger ordered him to do
otherwise, his duty was to turn the
money into the State Treasury.
But, of course, Mr., Fickinger will
not'see his subordinate suffer from
obeying his order, and the little
matter will probably cost Mr.. Flick
niger several hundred dollars TO

Effects Of Prohibition.

Little Rhode Island has been a
Prohibition State for some time
now and its people are discussing
the old question of whether Prohi-
bition prohibits. The Providence
Journal Independently paints a
sorry picture of the law. 1t says
"It must be admitted that Prohi-
bition in Rhode Island has not
proved a remedy. Whether it has
decreased the manufacture, sale, or
drinking of intoxicating liquor to
an appreciable degree is still an
open question. The frequent exhi-
billions of intemperance on the
street, the daily record of arrests
for drunkenness, and the immense
importation of liquor, tell their
own story. But even if these evils
are less under the present law than
under the license system, there are
other grave evils which have fol-
lowed the enactment of prohibi-
tory law. Captured by political in
fluence, used as an opportunity for
advancing personal fortunes,
and its execution intrusted to dis
reputable, if not hostile hands, the
law has been odious from the be-
ginning. The feeble attempts
made from time to time for its en-
forcement, the difficulty of convic-
tion, the family disguised sale of
liquor, and the utter absence of en-
ergetic protest at such q state of
things have shown that there was
not strong popular feeling behind
the law, and in favor of it's enforce
ment. A law that cannot be en-
forced, is not only unwise, but is
an injurious law, having moral con-
sequences that are destructive of
the best interests of society. Aim
ing at the decrease of crime, it in
creases it. And this is the condi-
tien of Rhode Island to-day, that all
over the State Ghere are more men
than ever before who are deliber-
ately committing criminal offenses,
and who know that they can do so
in comparative safety. The con-
cealment, evasion, hypocrisy, de-
ceit and fraud practiced, the grow
ing contempt for the statute law
and law makers, the committal of
crime whenever a glass of liquor
is sold, make a list of evils that are
directly chargeable to the prohiti-
tory law. Moreover, a generation
is growing up in the knowledge
that law can be broken almost
with impunity, and is being educa-
ted to break it. An unenforced
law is necessarily a breeder of
criminals, and this is the explana-
ton OF that maxim of Jurisprudence
which says that law should never
be very far in advance of public
sentiment. Such facts explain why
many SO surely recognize and de-
plore the evil of intemperance can
not agree upon prohibition as a
remedy. They see the other evils
which it certainly promotes. They
deprecate the adoption of any law
which cannot be measurably well
inforced, and know that fraud, hy-
pocrisy and contempt for law are
encreased thereby. They know
that the demand for drink has
some OF the deepest instincts Of
human nature behind it, and be-
lieve that 1t Is unwise to drive men
to commit other crimes in order to
obtain 1t. In the present condition
OF human nature the only rational
or practical thing that can be done
with the drink traffic is to place
limitations upon 1t, This is all

FEEDING LIVESTOCK.
The Most Profitable Method OF Disposin
of Corn and other Grain.

The Most Profitable Method OF Disposin.
of Corn and other Grain.
The best methods for raising corn,
wheat, potatoes, ETC., are taken up by
the writers and discussed at length.
Now after we have raised these crops
then we are at loss how to dispose of
them to derive the most benefit. Oi
course there is only one way to dispose
of wheat and potatoes. and that is to
sell them. But the corn crop can be
turned into money in two ways; one is
to sell it, and the other to feed to stock,
and to go back to the subject, does
feeding stock pay? L will venture to
say yes, if managed right. say it
will pay if we get no more than market
price for the corn, as the benefit OF the
manure is a good deal more than some
think it to be, and not only that, but 1t
; is quite chore to haul corn to market,
unless one is close to it.
By my own experience 1 find that it
will as a general thing pay to feed corn
to hogs, as 1 have made tests that show
that hogs at cents per pound will pay
40 cents per bushel for the corn and
these were Just common hogs, and II
the hogs had been better stock they
would have paid more than 40 cents for
the corn. Now l have noticed that
hogs and corn are about always on this
basis. When corn is from 80 to 40 cents
per bushel, hogs are from to 4 cents
per pound, and such being the case, we
see it will pay to feed corn to hogs, and
l might add here that young hogs will
pay better than older ones rs it is easier
to put on the first 100 pounds than the
second. The hogs which have tested
weighed from $50 to 200 pounds.
As have had considerable expert
ence in feeding cattle / say it will pay
market price, if not more, 20 feed corn
to cattle although 1 know there have
been thousands of dollars lost in the
cattle business in the last few years,
but they have been carelessly handled.

ing cattle out doors with no protection

to keep up the animal heat with feed.
have tried feeding them in and out Of

| Now to make it pay to feed corn to
cattle we must have two or three points
in view: One is if we intend to buy
cattle to feed for market we must buy
them so we shall receive 81 per hun.

Another is that we must protect them
from the cold and keep them eomfor:;s-

Good Fences on the Farm.

Many an animal becomes breachy
because of the carelessness of the
farmer in looking after his fences. A
board gets loose or broken, and this
not having been attended to at once,
the animal gets out of the inclosure.
Having once done this the beast is more
apt to try again, and finally even a
good strong fence will not restrain it.
The cheapest and best way is to build
a good fence in the beginning, and then
see that it is kept in good repair, SO
none of the stock will be tempted to ge:
over it or break it down. Animals kept
in lots surrounded by good fences are
not likely to become unruly, and if one
should be obtained that has acquired
this habit, it will be found better to dis
pose of it, lest it not only prove a
source of constant annoyance, but also
be the means of making others in his
herd troublesome.-NdtionGl Lice- STOCK
